viaJDBC on production. What I don't understand is why when the value gets mapped back to Java via JDBC those extra
digitsare coming back. Can anyone explain this or do you think I'm on the wrong track? I stepped through code and it
sureseems like the extra information is coming back from the JDBC driver.
Are the production and test apps running on the same platform i.e. OS,
bitness, etc.
